OK, let's actually look at the full scenario if you trade up for Von Miller.
Everybody seems to agree that it will take both first-round picks (at the minimum). Most folks here also seem to agree that a starting-caliber DE is a must in this draft. Realistically, that will require a pick in the early/mid 20's. Let's say you trade up with a package like this...
#33 & #60 for #24 & #88
...and nab Muhammad Wilkerson.
Now you have #74, #88 & #92 remaining for day 2. Interior OL is a must. Board favorites Watkins, Ijalana and Boling are likely gone. Let's say you double up on guys who are ready and versatile, if somewhat low-ceilinged: James Carpenter (OG/RT) at #74, John Moffitt (OG/C) at #88. #92 is pretty wide open; let's take a shot at Greg Romeus.
So starting with 2 picks in each of the first 3 rounds, you come away with:
Von Miller
Muhammad Wilkerson
James Carpenter
John Moffitt
Greg Romeus
(no future picks acquired; not much opportunity for it in this scenario)
Happy?
I think I want you in the war room on draft day. That is quite a catch of picks you got there.
